Higher ed workers from wall-to-wall and coast-to-coast formed HELU in 2021 recognizing the need for more coalitional, cross-union work in our movement. In our current crisis, where the landscape is constantly shifting and attacks come from every angle, both the need and the opportunity for coalitional work is greater.
We are proud to announce that we are part of Project Rise Up, a new effort bringing together workers, students, alumni, community members, and others to champion a new version of higher education that works for all of us. We’re demanding free college, a fair wage for workers, and schools where everyone is safe to learn and protest — regardless of their gender, race or immigration status.
On November 7, workers, students, alumni, community members, and more will come together for walkouts and protests at hundreds of schools around the country. Will you join us?
